Chapter 259 The Great Merciful Tree King
Chapter 259 The Great Merciful Tree King
"His death and my birth seemed to be simultaneous..."
There was a subtle sadness in Nashida's words.
"If not, He would surely be able to give me more guidance..."
Nashida didn't continue speaking after saying this. She just thought about the remaining half of the sentence in her mind:
...If that were the case, I probably wouldn't have been imprisoned for 500 years.
Nashida shook her head, hiding her cowardly thoughts. She smiled at Ying and Paimon.
"It seems we're almost there. Let's get ready to disembark. Given Hines's current condition, it's best not to stay too long."
As the ancient ship slowly slowed down, the desolate scenery gradually faded away, and what greeted everyone was a dreamlike scene.
Surrounded by clouds and mist, a giant pink and purple tree stands tall, and the thick roots spreading from the bottom of the tree become the ground that can be stepped on.
Nashida flew down from the boat, staring at the beautiful scenery intently. Ying was also looking around. After a moment, she was very sure that this was the World Tree she had arrived at in her dream.
Paimon followed Egolia and helped Hines down. As soon as he stepped onto the World Tree, Hines' discomfort improved. He could feel that the roots under his feet were absorbing the forbidden knowledge pollution in his body and transferring it to the center of the tree.
Paimon opened his mouth wide and poked Hines.
"Hines, where's your camera? Take a picture!"
Having returned to normal, Hines was stretching his stiff neck. He rolled his eyes when he heard Paimon's stupid remarks.
"Paimon, have you forgotten that we are all in the state of souls now? How can a soul carry a camera?"
"Uh... forget what I said..."
......
Although Hines' camera cannot be used, the little players in the other world can take pictures normally!
886 turned on the game's photo function and left many photos here until the barrage of comments could no longer be contained.
"Sister Six, we're playing Genshin Impact, not Miracle Lengleng. Let's get through the storyline!"
"886, let's do something serious!"
886 curled his lips when he saw the barrage.
"I know, I know. Why are you so anxious? It's obvious that this is a plot device prepared by the plotters. Are you so eager to be stabbed?"
Although 886 had been taking photos, she was actually still thinking about the scene with Sines. The voice that was obviously not Sines mentioned Nashida as "guest"...
Hiss! Isn't he a guest? Is he from Xines?
No, no, there's no need for Hines to do anything, Egolia will tear that guy apart...
The automatic playback of the plot was turned on again by 886, and the happy time of slacking off began again!
......
Here, a group of people followed Nashida's footsteps and arrived at the main body of the World Tree, that is, the trunk.
According to Nashida, the remaining consciousness of the Great Tree King is waiting for them here.
But now, standing there was a little girl who looked exactly like Nashida.
Nashida looked him up and down several times, but no matter how she looked, she could not find any difference between the person opposite her and her.
The 'four people' behind him also looked puzzled. Paimon scratched his head.
"We are here to find the Great Compassion Tree King, right?"
Egolia was silent for a moment. Based on her soul's fluctuations, the person standing under the tree was undoubtedly the Great Compassion Tree King himself, but His appearance...
Narcida murmured to herself,
"That's... me? Exactly like me..."
With a heart full of questions, Nashida took a step forward.
"Are you...the Great Ci Tree King?"
At this moment, Nashida couldn't explain her feelings. She wanted to hear the other party's admission, so that she could see the god she had always longed to see.
But at the same time, he was also afraid that the other party would admit it. If the person under the tree was the Great Compassionate Tree King, then who was he?
King of trees, or god of grass?
Or, are the two actually the same person?
The god under the tree smiled and nodded, opened his arms and turned around.
"Yeah, that's me, I look like this..."
"...did it surprise you?"
Nashida's mind was in a mess and she didn't even know what to say, but the Great Compassionate Tree King already understood Nashida's thoughts.
He took a few light steps forward, came in front of Nashida, and told her about his relationship with her.
"Because you are me and I am you..."
"...You are my reincarnation~"
The Great Compassionate Tree King's tone was unusually gentle, like a mother looking at her beloved child.
The Great Tree King said that he was the incarnation of the World Tree, and Nashida was the purest branch of the World Tree.
"...The me before you is merely a remnant of the Great Compassion Tree King's consciousness. The real me must have been dead long ago."
There was no trace of dissatisfaction in the words of the Great Compassionate Tree King, as if the person he was talking about dying was not himself.
Nashida reluctantly accepted the King of the Great Compassionate Trees' statement and tentatively asked this true god of wisdom a question.
"So, I will also grow up to be a great god like you?"
There was a smile in the eyes of the Great Compassionate Tree King. Nashida's question seemed a little cute to him. Great God, how should you define this concept?
However, now is not the time to preach.
"Although our essences are the same, our futures will certainly be different. Everything has its own destiny..."
The word "destiny" appeared in Ying's ears again. She always felt that this word appeared too much recently.
Mona also once said that the fate of Teyvat has already been determined, so what exactly is fate?
After the greetings, Nashida also mentioned to the Great Compassionate Tree King the most important purpose of this trip, which was to remove the forbidden knowledge pollution suffered by the World Tree.
The Great Compassionate Tree King said that He had almost expelled all forbidden knowledge.
Yes, almost, not completely.
The King of Great Compassion Trees still had a gentle spring-like smile on his face.
"...But my consciousness is connected to the World Tree. The World Tree brings me knowledge and wisdom, but pollution also finds me..."
"...From the very beginning, my existence has been tainted."
After saying this, the Great Compassionate Tree King turned his head and glanced at the lush World Tree. Such a beautiful World Tree had to endure such pollution...
When the Great Compassion Tree King turned his gaze back to Nashida, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a sense of determination.
"Even if I die, everything about me will remain in the World Tree, and the forbidden knowledge will never be eradicated..."
"And I can never eliminate myself, it's a paradox..."
"So I broke you off, waiting for you to come and completely wipe me out!"
